Ttc#1 Thread 7. 'I've sneezed twice, dtd, drank 2 glasses of juice, ate some cheese and I want a cuddle, Ovia am in pregnant yet?' TMI alert throughout.

I tested this morning at 11dpo (I know, I'm weak!) Bfn, and no symptoms so I'm not too hopeful for this cycle. Af due Thurs so I'm just going to wait and see if the bitch shows.

Love the name Edith!

Hi Pink! We miss you! Give us some of your knowledge! What's the best snack you've found for nausea?

Ladies I had my friends 6month old in my arms throughout brunch! I bet people thought she was mine-shes so cute and cuddly! Thankfully both friends know we're ttc so they know I'm broody to fuck!

Finally succeeded in dtd! I feel so relieved! totally right feefeefs Caught the peak I'm hoping! We'll see if bbt rises tomorrow

Mine is like that too suchajem excel financial spreadsheets and due date calculators come out and he worries. Apparently though he's really looking forward to the mood swing tho! I'm normally fairly easy going and dislike conflict whereas he loves a good row so I think he's looking forward to a bit of irrational behaviour!

I like you middle names chutloo classic

cthulhoo I absolutely looove Edith. I really like old fashioned names he said no to beatrix if we have a boy, middle name has to be Robert (family thing on his side). My family and his all have crappy girl names so if DD then she will have no connection to any of our names 😂

I need it to be test day for someone. I have positive pissy stick cravings

small voice We have discussed baby names too. Middle names, that is. If (and when) it's a boy, his middle name will be David, after DP's late father. If (and when) it's a girl, her middle name will be Edith, after my late gran.
For first names, all bets are still open.

jem I think he's more impatient than me at the minute probably because I can feel af pains. He's been wanting to try for over a year but I wasn't ready at all. He isn't exactly clued up about what pregnancy entails so I'm sure he'll be just like your OH soon when I start having hissy fits because there's none of the right biscuits left

snow I hear ya. Between work, dogs, spending time with OH and gym I barely have time for much of a social life and when I do go out I feel guilty for drinking! Me and my friends spend a lot of time doing nights in at each others now and I couldn't be happier haha

mileymoo DH and went for a walk yesterday and ended up talking baby names too. Gah it's so tempting to get into convos like this!
That's lovely your fella is so excited. Mine is more terrified. I'm getting a little bit frustrated with it to be honest. He wants it but focuses on the fears / negatives.

zazzles I'm just going to start dtd earlier too. Last month I felt like we cut it quite fine with the day before and day after. This cycle I'm predicted to O on day 10 again so I want to dtd days 7,9,10,11. Have forewarned dh who has started back at the gym with his best buddy in an attempt to "not die in bed". Ever the optimist!
I'm overweight, trying to get fitter through eating better (5 days a week) and going to the gym more than once a week. It's really hard to get fit when you're so busy and tired just from daily life.

Kat can you put me down for a 15th Feb test please. That seems like a life time away.

This thread moves very quickly and it is hard to keep up but I love a good read when I haven't been on for a few hours! Dtd every day until Friday started well yesterday. Then DP goes away for two weeks which should technically be our fertile window. But that's based on me having an average 27 day cycle because first one was 30 days and the next was 24 days. So really I have absolutely no idea when by FW is!!!

Hi ladies!

Miley, we've told parents, brother, sister and their families. I've also had to tell my boss and a close work friend, earlier than I would have wanted too, but I've been off sick for a while so they needed to know the real reason. They are keeping it quiet until 12 weeks though.

It is weird how something the size of a raspberry can wreck havoc with your body. The bonus for OH's is the boob growth - if anyone has an OH that is wobbling about TTC and is generally a boob man, entice them with the fact that your boobs will most likely grow to the size of melons once you are upduffed!

I'm a gym regular, too. And eat relatively well except since ttc. I blame the stress on me eating almost half a christmas cake since Tuesday. Just had another chat with OH re: names for babies we don't even have yet. Why do I do this to myself?! He is overly excited at the thought of being a dad and the fact that I'm now ready.

Don't worry Zazzles - my booze intake is way way down but my chocolate intake is through the fucking roof.

And will people stop going to the gym & being generally healthy - you're making me feel bad!

ever it's a fine balance isn't it between optimising our chances & going ott! I keep being warned by sis to chill out

kat how dare people leave this group - it's the best group ever ... They'll be back!

ni I may give preseed a go. The conceive plus was in an applicator & was just too much, DH couldn't feel a thing .

snow are you making any other changes other than soy date? Makes sense to bring it forward. Fx!

Kat well done re gym, and ouch! Can you cope with lifting chocolate to your face? Might seem counterproductive but is probably medicinal in this case. I did an abs blast on weds and have been sore and twingy since. Obv am overanalysing and interpreting these as symptoms. Sigh.

Thanks mileymoo and irregular I had no idea about that. I think I'm going to wait until Thursday when AF is due and maybe I'll do a fmu test then

Slight cramps yesterday and the day before yesterday. 8dpo. Hoping beyond hope that it doesn't mean af will turn up soon now as that would be very soon, and mean a luteal phase that's just way too short. Or I just have random cramps ...

Hey Jem, it's just first morning urine - first wee of the day best for poas if pg testing, but not opk testing.

jem it's first morning urine - the best type for a pregnancy pissy stick

Hi pink!!! Aw 8 weeks already!! Have you told anyone yet? Other than DH of course

pinklily size of a raspberry congratulations!

mileymoo sorry I don't know what fmu is have googled to no avail.

If it's which test I used then it was first response early response x

*grad board, not grass board!

I've never been worse Starky, but in the best possible way! Morning sickness is proving a killer - no actual sickness but constant all day nausea with no appetite or desire to drink anything. It's awful but I'm just thinking of the reward we get in the end.

Baby is currently the size of a raspberry (I'm 8+2 today).

We are ready and waiting with open arms to welcome you all to the grass board when the time comes.

Also, how can people not like this thread?! Some of the other threads are so boring. There's nothing like a good CM chat to brighten the day!
